How can the study of morphemes (roots, prefixes, and suffixes) dramatically improve student spelling, vocabulary acquisition, and reading comprehension? By understanding the "why" behind English spelling, students gain the tools to decode and define over 60% of the multisyllabic words they encounter in academic texts. During this session we will study the power of morphology, explore how to move beyond the weekly spelling list, and engage in practical classroom routines to strengthen students understanding of words.
What does the Science of Reading say about teaching high-frequency words? How does that fit with 95 Core Phonics? In this session we will explore the why, how, and when of teaching high-frequency words with beginning readers.
